CORY Li
Cory Li, co-founder and general manager of Wildflora, is a super fan of nature especially for flowers. His passion for nature comes from the beauty of green in the eyes of a young boy. As a native of Sichuan Chengdu, he has spent a lot of time exploring nature in the mountains nearby his hometown. During his study in Sichuan University, he began to take part in lots of outdoor activities like hiking and mountain climbing, and started to study knowledge about flora by himself. After graduation, He even spent more time in the field than in the office, exploring wild flowers in Sichuan and nearby provinces with other nature lovers and photographing some two thousand species of wild flowers. He even discovered some new distributions and even some new plant species along with some other nature lovers. He enjoys sharing his discoveries and the stories behind his photos with other nature lovers on the Internet and has become a "plant icon" in southwest China. He never expected to become famous for it, he just loved sharing the beauty of these lovely flowers with others. After years of exploration, Cory found that southwest China is a paradise for naturalists. The more he sees, the more he feels like exploring. So he decided to quit his job as a chemical engineer and become a full time flora explorer. He wants to take people to find the beauty of those nature spirits, work on nature education for Chinese students, and help with the conservation of those endangered species.
